I am no scientist, but common sense suggests that the parabola is the correct behavior. I don't know why....maybe because there are numerous arcs in spacial behavior of planatoid objects.

It must have something to do with the time that it takes the object to drop.

As the train is moving, the object drops in a combgination of forward momentum and downward gravity?

So even using such equipment as the space telescope, how do we effectively chart our position in the vast sceme of things? How do we know how fast objects are travelling? If we are looking back through time as we look out in space, how do we know if it all is still there? After all, what we see is billions of years ago.
